| 8th December, 2007 - 11:15 am |  ESPN - Rex Grossman hobbled into an uncertain future, and the rest of his team wasn't far behind.
One year after reaching the Super Bowl, the Chicago Bears appear to be in a state of flux after a 24-16 loss at Washington on Thursday night all but dashed any shot left at a playoff spot.
The question of where the Bears (5-8) head from this point starts with the quarterback position. There was great fear about Grossman's injury suffered just four minutes into the game Thursday, when his left leg twisted awkwardly under the force of defensive lineman Cornelius Griffin. The team did not issue any update on his condition Friday, but multiple Chicago-area media outlets reported that an MRI exam revealed no tear only a sprain of the medial collateral ligament.
That is good news for Grossman because a torn ligament might have required surgery and an extended rehabilitation process. He likely will miss the rest of the season as it is because sprains of the MCL usually require a month of recovery.
As for the outlook farther down the line, Grossman has an expiring contract and would probably be a relatively cheap option for teams seeking a quarterback. It's hard to predict what they would get from him, though. [READ] |
